Mammoth Monument

Monument

The Mammoth Monument in Kulishivka is the first such monument in the world.

It was established in 1841 in honor of a paleontological find made in 1839 by the Ukrainian scientist-naturalist, professor of Kharkiv University, Ivan Kalynychenko. He unearthed a well-preserved skeleton of a mammoth discovered by local residents during excavations. The find was presented to the zoological office of Kharkiv University.

At the suggestion of Professor Kalynychenko and with the participation of the owner of the estate, Count Yuriy Holovkin, in 1841, a 3-meter cast-iron memorial was erected at the place where the bones were found.

The Kulishivka monument to the mammoth is now a landmark of the district and is even depicted on its coat of arms.
